I wonder where those odds are from - I'd still have a mug loyalty punt if I could!

I think home advantage might help the Dubs.
Parnell Park is pocked with bumps and the grass is never short.
If Offaly are going to play ground hurling, for the sake of adhering to the ground hurling mantra (millstone), we could see lots of scuffed and duffed strokes.

Whoa ! Come on Admin, you'll have to give the rest of us a clue what Podgy's dodgy link brought up? The curiousity is killing me.

I didn't open the link, cos alarms would be going off in the networks department. A quick google of the site name revealed it was something along the lines of lady boys getting very friendly.

Our discipline has improved lately !! :wink:

From memory, I think Podge's 2 previous posts were of a similar vein.

I would be willing to wager a small sum that given that he said his address is Pullough that the one place he is not from is there ! :lol:

Match finished -

Dublin 0-17
Offaly 1-11

Was onlu listening to radio commentary, but it sounds like we didn't really deserve any better.

Dublin were the better team and deserved to win!! Their touch was better, they were way better at getting the ball into their hand, they ran powerfully and took their scores well with & against the wind.

Offaly didn't score for 22 minutes against the strong breeze and by that time they were 8 points down. There were many small mental errors throughout the game, particularly after they got back close to Dublin near the end -dropping balls that were gently hopping into their hands, taking their eyes off incoming passes, taking the wrong options or getting caught in possession and miscuing strokes.

Having said that nobody on the Offaly side really disappointed individually and they all fought to the end. Some good scores and they looked better prepared than some of the previous Offaly U-21 teams. They could have benefitted from using some of the better minors, when we won a Leinster U-21 in 2000 there were several minors on the panel.

Eddie Bevans scored 1-3, of which a remarkable 1-2 came from sideline cuts.
Neil Rogers did well at midfield after he came on.
Dylan Hayden scored his normal few (2) classy points.
Joe Bergin took 2 good points, one from each side.
Paul Cleary landed a free from another parish.
Dooley (2 frees) and Kenny (1) rounded out the scoring.
The rest of the backs fought well, against bigger and stronger opponents - Daniel Hoctor was particularly prominent - Michael Verney might have been switched back to the defence rather than being taken off directly.

Dublin are a solid outfit - fit, strong, big and well-coached. It'll be interesting to see how close they come to Kilkenny after the Cats' big win over Wexford last night.

Dublin are now No. 2 in Leinster at underage to Kilkenny.
